  • 75.00 gm icing sugar mixture
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan-forced, and line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper cases.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the chocolate with the milk until smooth and well combined, stirring constantly for about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • In an electric mixer, whip together butter, sugar, and eggs until creamy. Sprinkle flour, cocoa powder, and almond meal over the mixture, gently mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate mixture until just combined. Divide the batter among paper cases. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy!
  • Step for Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: - With an electric mixer, whip together butter, sugars, and vanilla until light and fluffy. - Slowly sift flour and salt into the mixture, and stir until just combined. - Mix in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed by gently kneading the dough with your hands. - Set aside 1 cup of the dough for later use as instructed in the notes.
  • Prepare the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Frosting: With an electric mixer, blend cream cheese, cookie dough, and peanut butter until creamy. Mix in icing sugar until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a 1.5cm fluted nozzle.
  • With a small sharp knife, hollow out the center of each cupcake with a 3cm round hole. Shape the reserved dough into 12 balls and place them into the holes, pressing gently to flatten. Decorate the cupcakes with frosting, mini cookies, and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Serve and enjoy!
